Great new post by Michelle on missing moose and a new father in Texas….In God’s Hands
The living room at my parents house was atrocious. It was a lovely shade of pink. Bright pink. Well worn. Fugly.
Sorta like this…
(was this EVER cool?)
When mom and dad bought the house, dad promised mom he’d take care of it right away. But that’s alot of work right?
5 years later…
Dad has this brilliant idea. He’ll go away with mom for the weekend and get a whole bunch of guys from the church to rip up the carpet and lay down some laminate hardwood flooring. Parents go away. Men get to work. They tear up the lovely pink carpet, and discover the most wonderful thing- a gorgeous solid hardwood floor.
Something like this…
Work stops immediately, and my dad gets the great news on the phone.
Sometimes, I plan and worry and work and scurry, when really- God’s gift waits just below the surface for me to uncover- if I look in the right place at the right time.
We’re back from Montreal…had a GREAT time- interviewed a ton of cool people including a few MPs, a judge, and a head of a non-profit in Quebec. I’ve got some interesting stories to tell, including one of a creepy hostel that visited…
Gonna take today to recover. Promise to be back with actual decent content tomorrow…thanks for your patience~!
